Has anyone heard any news about A-Square after they went bankrupt again?

There was an auction that sold all the assets,
buildings, machinery, supplies, inventory, even the books
that they had published, and the
company is no more. Still had debts.Ed

Actually from the info I got from private guy, who was hired
by a company who bought them out , who tried finish
up the lingering orders, after they closed their
gunbuilding and ammo making facilities, they only
made about 400 gunsover the years. Many more in the
ASquare calibers were made by other smiths and
manufacturers on variety of actions. Ed

Go here: http://www.broadswordgroup.com/a_square_rifles.htmlThey are good rifles. I have two; a .500 A-Square and a .338 A-Square Hannibal models.

Yes, I love them as well. They're accurate, have Timney triggers, and the stock really soaks up the recoil. I recently bought A-Squares in 338-06, 416 Rigby, and 500 A2. I has 2 T-Rex A-Squares in the past....wish i still had them, but brass availability pretty much kills the 577 T-Rex these days. I'm looking for more A-Square rifles.

That is a rifle I would love to have, and will have one, eventually. I have been cruising the auction and various posting sites to see if one pops up, but am not posting a WTB ad. Not yet at least. The .500 A2 kicks butt, on both ends. I think I'd like the .577 but loaded down some.
